5-stars for the excellent idea! Quick and easy to prepare and bake. The mixture was more the consistency of a batter than a dough, so I poured it into the loaf pan (I have an rectangular crockpot). It rose well (in fact the baked loaf lapped over the sides a bit). 3-4 stars for its texture & taste: It's texture was not as fine as 2-rise dough breads - more like a peasant bread. Flavor was good but rustic tasting. I think reducing the flour and liquid quantities a little, leaving the other ingredients the same, would make loaf more rich and have it fit into a large loaf pan without running over the edges. I'm going to experiment with other bread recipes using this crockpot technique. Thanks for the idea, Tish.

Easy and tasty! The directions didn't state how exactly to cover the pan with foil. I tented the foil and sealed it around the edges of the bread loaf pan. It seemed to work well, but it would have raised even more had I left it more room. Anyone else cover it differently? I was thinking I could get creative with the foil, such as make the top of the loaf into a heart for Valentine's Day or something...very good bread. could use a little more flavor though.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
